12 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Bananas Cooked and Uncooked Persons who enjoy H fresh banana with cream and Hugar on it feel amused or contemptuous when thoy licnr their loss fortunate friends de clare this excellent fruit is responsible for nil sorts of ills and that it should not be eaten unless cooked! Someone asks, "What is the truth about the banana?" To answer this, first consider that most of the fruit that finds its way to our stores and finally to our tables is plucked before it is ripened, packet! in holds of vessels and later in storage houses and reaches us too ripe or too green. The banana is the most nourishing fruit we have; it is a food and in the same class with potatoes, bread, and cereals. Persons with normal digestions can cat thorn in any form, others may have to secure them at some especial Btagc of ripeness and prepare them in some particular way. Because they are a food element, furnishing heat and energy, give them a frequent place in your diet. To bake bananas, select good-sized, ripe ones, peel and split tlicm in halves and place in a shallow baking platter. Sprinkle with sugai, lemon juice, and butter. Add two tablespoons of water and bake until fruit is brown over top, basting often. Serve in the baking dish. This is the most popular way to cook bananas; other ways are to broil them and to bake them in their skins. THE SONGS OF Selected By J. HOWARD WERT No. 315. liOrd Lovel he stood at his castle gate, Combing his milk-white steed, When up came Lady Nancy Belle, To wish her lover good speed. ''Where are you going, Lord Lovel?"; she said, "Oh, where are you going?" said she; j ''l'm going, my Lady Nancy Belle, Strange countrine for to see." ''When will you be back, Lord Lovel?" she said, "Oh, when will you come back?") said she; ''ln a year or two—or three, at the most, IH return to my fair Nancy." But he had not been gone a year and a day. Strange countries for to see, When languishing thought came into his head. Lady Nancy Belle he would go see. So ho rode, and he rode on his milk white steed, Till he came to London town, And there he heard St. Pancras' bells, And the people all mourning round. "The Mother's Dream" Beneath the soft white snow to-night A little form is sleeping, While o'er her darling empty crib A mother bends with weeping. Almost she bpph the curly head Upon the pillow lying; Her outstretched arms clasped but the air; Her soul is sick with sighing. A cry bursts from the tortured heart, "Oh why to us was given This fair white blossom when so soon He's snatched from us to Heaven!" On angel hand her eyelids press, Straightway she falls to dreaming, The gates of Heaven open wide, Within she sees the gleaming.

Artistic Printing at Star-Independent Children may be given fresh, ripe, uncooked bananas, without any fear of consequences if the rough, hairy fu 7.7. between the fruit proper and the skin be scraped off. It is this that irritates tender stomachs. One of the well liked banana dinhes is cake put together with this fruit filling. The only drawback to this deli cacy is that bananas turn an unsightly brown after they are exposed to the air a few moments. Therefore, the cake should be made and filled .just as it is needed to be served. Banana batter cake is made with just such a dough as one uses for short cake. Then slices of banana are ar ranged over the dough and sprinkled with sugar, spice anil butter. When baked, serve with cream and sugar.

Lord Lovel said, "Oh what is the matter?" said he; "A lord's lady is dead,' a woman re plied, "And some called her Lady Nancy." So lie ordered the grave to be opened wide, And the shroud he turned it down, And there he kissed her clay-cold lips, Till the tears came trickling down. Lady Nancy she died as might be to day, Lord Lovel ho died as to-morrow; Lady Nancy died out of pure, pure grief, Lord Lovel he died out of sorrow. Lady Nancy was laid in St. Pancras church, Lord Lovel was laid in the choir; And out of her bosom there grew a red rose, And out of her lover's a brier. They grew and they grew to the church steeple top, And then they could grow no higher; So there they entwined in a true lover's knot, For all lovers true to admire. And with them, fairest sight to hor, Her little one is straying. How bright his blue eyes sparkle now; I Her sorrow all beguiling; No tear drops stain the dimple cheeks; The sweet red lips are smiling. The Saviour, too, with outstretched arms, The little child is blessing, Whilo angel fingers softly fall, The sunny head caressing. The augel whispered—"Sorrow now, And pain can touch him never, But thou canst come and dwell with Him Forever and forever." The mother woke and low she prayed; "O Thou of every good the Giver— Keep Thou ray darling till I come To dwell with Thee and him forever." BROWN NOW CHIEF JUSTICE Robert F.

JANUARY 5. 1915. l [ i I Coprx/G/sr /sosay sr./wccfflr# — / At/r/tQtf Of 7fi£/W6WWf£W ffC. (CONTINUED.) No turning back for me now. I 1 picked up by suit case and got out. On i the platform I saw the curio-shop fel- , low again. Tramping on ahead, the smell from his villainous pipe assailing \ my nostrils, was the man who had asked for a match. The (ormer stood j undecided for a moment, and during ! this space of time he caught sight of . me. He became erect, gave me a sud | den sardonic laugh, and swiftly dis- j appeared into the darkness. All this was uncommonly disquieting; in vain j 1 stared Into the blackness that had ! swallowed him. What could he be I doing here at Rlankshire? I didn't | like his laugh at all; was at j once a menace and a challenge in it. i "Any baggage, sir?" asked one of i ♦he station hands. "No." But 1 asked him to direct me to a hotel. He did so. I made my way down the street. The wind had veored around and wan coming in from the sea. pure and cold The storm clouds were broken and scudding like dark ships, and at times there were flashes of radiant moonshine. • The fashionable hotel was full. So I plodded through the drifts to the unfashionable hotel. Here I found ac commodation. I dressed, sometimes laughing, sometimes whistling, some times standing motionless in doubt. Bah! It was only a lark. ... I thought of the girl in Mo\|quin's; how much better it would have been to spend the evening with her, exchanging badinage, and looking into each other's eyes! Pshaw! I covered my face with the gray mask and descended to the street. The trolley ran within two miles of the Hunt club. The car was crowded with masqueraders, and for the first time since I started out I felt comfort able. Everybody laughed and talked, though nobody knew who his neighbor was. I sat in a corner, silent and mo tionless as a sphinx. Once a pair of blue slippers attracted my eye, and again the flash of a lovely arm. At the end of the trolley line was a carryall which was to convey us to the club. We got into the conveyance, noisily and good-humoredly. The exclamations of the women were amusing. "Good gracious!" "Isn't It fun!" "Lovely!" And all that. It must have been a novelty for some of these to act naturally for once. Nothing lasts so long as the natural instinct for play; and we always find ourselves coming back to It. Standing some hundred yards back from the road was the famous Holly wood inn, run by the genial Moriarity. Sometimes the members of the Hunt club put up there for the night when there was to be a run the following morning. It was open all the year round. We made the club at exactly 10:30. Fortune went with me, doubtless It was the crowd going In that saved me from close scrutiny. My spirits rose as I espied Teddy Hamilton at the door. He was on the committee, and was in plain evening clothes. It was good to see a familiar face. I shoul dered toward him and passed out my ten dollars. "Hello, Teddy, my son!" I cried out Jovially. "Hello!"—grinning. Teddy thought It was some one he knew; well, so It was. "What's your card?" he cried, as I pressed by him. "The ten of hearts." "The ten of hearts." repeated Teddy to a man who was keeping tally big cardboard. This sight did not reassure me. If they were keeping tally of all the cards presented at the door, they would soon find out that there were too many tens of hearts, too many .by one! Well, at any rate, I had for the time being es caped detection; now for the fun: It would be sport-royal while it last ed. What a tale to give out at the club of a Sunday night! I chuckled on the way to the ball room. I had dis pensed with going up to the. dressing room. My robe was a genuine one. heavy and warm; »o I had no overcoat to check. "Grave monk, your blessing!" Turning, I beheld an exquisite Col umbine. "Pax vobiscum!" I replied, sol emnly. "Pax . . . What does that mean?" "It meant, do not believe all you ■ee In the newspapers." Coluifabine laughed gaily. "I did not know that you were a Latin scholar; and, besidea, you gave me to understand you were coming as a Jes uit. Billy." Billy? Here was one who thought she knew me. I hastened to disillusion her. "My dear Columbine, you do not know me, not the least bit. My nam* Is not Billy, It Is Dicky." "Oh, you cannot fool me," she re turned. "I heard you call out to Teddy Hamilton that your card was the ten of hearts; and you wrote me, saying that would be your card." Complications already, and I hadn't put my foot Inside the ball room! "I am sorry," I said, "but you have made a mistake. Your Jesuit probably told you his card would be the nine, not the ten." , "I will wager—" "Hush! This la a charity dance; ao one makes wagers at such affairs." "But— Why, my goodness! there's my Jesuit now!" And to my intense relief she dashed away. I carefully observed the Jesuit, and made up my mind to keep an eye upon him. If he really possessed the ten of hearts, the man who kept tally on the cardboard was doing some tall thUiklng about this time. I gilded away, into the gorgeous ball room. What a vision greeted my eye! The decorations were In red and yellow, , and it seemed as though perpetual au- I tumnal sunset lay over everything. ; At the far end of the room was a small stage hidden behind palms and giant ferns. The band was just striking up "A Summer Night in Mu nich." and a monderful kaleidoscope revolved around me. I saw Cavaliers and Roundheads, Puritans and Beel rebubs. Musketeers, fools,, cowboys, Indians kings and princeß; queens i and empresses, fairies and Quaker ' maids, white and black and red and 1 green dominoes. Tom Fool's night. Indeed! I saw the noble Doge of Venice coming my way. From his portly carriage I reasoned that If he wasn't in the gold-book of Venice he stood very well up in the gold-book of New York. He stopped at my sidf and struck an attitude. "Pax vobiscum!" said I, bowing. "Be at the Inquisition Chamber, di rectly the clock strikes the midnight hour," he said, mysteriously. "T shall be there to deliver the su preme interrogation," I replied. "It is well." He drifted away like a stately ship. Delightful foolery! I saw the Jes uit, and moved toward him. "Disciple of Loyola, hast thou the ten of hearts?" "My hearts number nine, for I have lost one to the gay Columbine." "I breathe! Thou art not he whom I seek." We separated. 1 was mor tally glad that Columbine had made a mistake. • The women always seek the monk at a masquerade; they" want absolu ■ tlon for the follies they are about to commit. A demure Quakeress ! touched my sleeve In passing. "Tell me, grave monk, why did you seek the monastery?" "My wife fell In love with me," — gloomily. "Then you have a skeleton in the clothes-press?" "Do I look like a man who owned such a thing as a clothes-press, much less so fashionable a thing as a fam ily skeleton?" "Then what do you here?" "I am mingling with fools as a pen | ance." A fool caught me by the sleeve and ; battered me gaily over the head with i a bladder. "Marry come up, why am I a fool?" I "It Is the fashion," was my answer. This was like to gain me the reputa j tlon of being a wit. I must walk care fully, or these thoughtless ones would begin to suspect there was an Impostor among them. "Aha!" There was mine ancient friend Julius, "Hall, Caesar!" He stopped. "Shall I beware of the Ides of March?" I asked, jovially. "Nay, my good Cassius; rather be ware of the ten of hearts," said Cae sar, In hollow tones, and was gone. The ten of hearts again! Hang | the card! And then with a sigh of i relief I recollected that In all prob j ability he. like Columbine, had heard j me call out the card to Hamilton. "You Do Not Know Me." Still, the popularity of the card was very disquieting. I wished it had been seven or five; there's luck in odd numbers. ... A Blue Domino! My heart leaped, and I thought of the little ticket in my waistcoat pocket A Blue Domino! If, by chance, there should be a connection between her and the ticket! She was sitting all alone In a cor ner near by, partly screened by a pot of orange trees. I crossed over and sat down by her side. This might prove an adventure worth while. "What a beautiful night It Is!" I said. She turned, and I caught sight of a wisp of golden hair. "That Is very original," said she. "Who In the world would have thought of passing comments on the weather at a masque! Prior to this moment the men have been calling me all sorts of sentimental names." "Oh, I am coming to that. / I am even going to make love to you." She folded her hands —rather re signedly, I thought— and the rollick ing comedy began. CHAPTER 111. When they give you a mask at a ball they also give you the key to all manner of folly and impudence. Even stupid people become witty, and the witty become correspondingly daring. For all I knew, the Blue Domino at my side might be Jones' wife, or Brown'» v or Smith's, or even Green's; E. AUCHINBAUGHf | THE UP-TO-DATE PRINTING PLANT |j ;d J. L. L.

Still, there are persons in the swim named Johnes and Smythe and Browne and Greene. Pardon this parenthesis!) As I recollected the manner in which I had self-invited the pleasure of my company to this carnival at the Blankshire Hunt club, I smiled behind my mask. Nerves! I ought to have been a professor of clinics in stead of an automobile agent. But the whole affair appealed to me so strongly I could not resist it. I was drawn into the tangle by the very fas cination of, the scheme. I was an interloper, but nobody knew it. The ten of hearts in my pocket did not match the backs of those cards regu larly issued. But what of that? Every one was ignorant of the fact. I was safe inside; and all that was roman- tic In my system was aroused. There are always some guests who cannot avail themselves of their invitations; and upon this vague chance I had staked my play. Besides, I was de termined to disappear before the hour of unmasking. I wasn't going to take any unnecessary risks. I was, then, fairly secure under my Ca puchin's robe. Out of my mind slipped the previous adventures of the evening. I forgot, temporarily, the beautiful unknown at Mouquin's. I forgot the sardonic-lipped stranger I had met in Friard's. I for got everything save the little ticket that had accidentally slipped into my package, and which announced that some one had rented a blue domino. And here was a Blue Domino at my side, just simply dying to have me talk to her! "I am madly In lore with you," I began. "I hare followed you often; I hare seen you In your box at the op era; I have seen you whirl up Fifth avenue in your fine barouche; and here at last I meet you!" I clasped my hands passionately. "My beautiful barouche! My bo* at the opera!" the girl mimicked. "What a cheerful Ananias you are!" "Thou art the most enchanting creature in all the universe. Thou art even a turquoise, a patch of radiant summer sky, eyes of sapphire, Hps—" "Archaic, very archaic," sfci" Inter rupted. "Disillusioned In ten seconds?" I cried, dismally.

History walks about us, and you call the old style archaic! That hurts!" "Methlnks, Sir Monk—" "There! That's more like It By my haldiom, that's the style!" "Odds bodkin, you don't tell me!" There was a second ripple of laughter from behind the mask. It was rare music. "I could fall In love with you!" To Be Continued.
